One Year Old iPhone 7 Plus Beats All Latest Android Flagship Phones Of 2017 In Speed Test

Check out this speed test video of one year old iPhone 7 Plus which beats all latest flagship Android smartphones of 2017, including the Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8+.

All the attention in the smartphone right now is on Apple and the impending announcement of no fewer than three new iPhone models. With the iPhone X, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus all set to be announced during a media event on September 12th, there is so much to look forward to, but it can be easy to forget that even without Apple’s new phones on the market, there are plenty of excellent smartphones around.

Samsung alone has launched multiple flagship phones in the past few months, and that is before you factor in offerings from the likes of Essential and OnePlus. With so many excellent phones to choose from and new iPhones on the horizon, wouldn’t it be interesting to see how the iPhone we were waiting for this time last year fares against the new hotness?

As it turns out, it would be very interesting indeed. That’s why EverythingApplePro set about creating a video in which an iPhone 7 Plus is pitted against Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8+, an Essential Phone and a OnePlus 5. Just how well will the year-old iPhone 7 Plus stack up to the biggest and best the competition has to offer?

Well, you’ll need to watch the whole ten-minute video in order to get the full lowdown but the short version is that it stands up surprisingly well. In fact, there are plenty of tests carried out by EverythingApplePro during which the Apple device performs much better than newer, costlier handsets despite being an year old at this point.

That alone is impressive, so be sure to check out the video to see just how well Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus handles current flagship devices when doing things like restarting, launching graphics intensive games and the like. You may be surprised or, if you have seen similar videos like this in the past, you might not be surprised at all!

I gave you examples, you just say “they copied”. You’re a pathetic shill liar. Can you at least give examples of what they stole with iOS 11? You’re like painfully stupid man.

Colin

You gave me no examples of what Android phones have copied from IOS, as I said Android has had lock screen tweaks since its start and customizable notifications were on ANdroid phones way before IOS too.

I cannot comment on IOS 11 as I have not seen that yet as it not released. However from IOS 7 IOS has been on one big catch-up exercise. Just look at some examples that IOS 10 borrowed from Android, there are many more and even more if you take 7-9 into account as well.

The new lock screen user interface featured a card-like design for notifications that’s similar to Android. Speaking of notifications, a clear all notifications option is available in iOS 10, but it’s something that had been available on Android for years.

Raise to Wake, Google introduced in Android Lollipop.

Apple Maps gots a lot of handy new features that were already available in Google Maps, including traffic information, support for additional stops, and third-party integrations.

The Photos app in iOS 10 uses AI to manage photos. Google’s Photos app has done this since the year before.

iOS 10 Phone app got smarter than before. It could detect spam calls and it transcribe voicemails automatically. These are features that were available on Android long before iOS 10 came to town.

Uninstalling stock apps was made possible on iOS 10. Android already had this feature.

And finally, the collaboration feature in Notes is similar to a feature Google added to Keep all the way back in 2014.

I could go on and on and on……

Why don’t you try to justify your statements? I give you a prime example where IOS is extremely limited, yet you just make the statement “Home kit has by miles the most supported devices” with zero proof or examples. Again I know the different standards Android has, I actually use them every day. Airplay is only available to Apple devices and they are in a big minority. Airplay only works with other apple products or a limited range of third party accessories. The majority own Samsung, LG, Sony or other electronic products like TV’s, speakers or home theatre for example, airplay does not work with these.

You are the one that looks dumber, you fail to justify anything and resort every time to swearing and insults to make up for it. Can you not see how that make you look??????

Colin

F …. this, F….. that why not try to argue properly or are you incapable.

Kantar 3 months to May 2017 – USA Android 65% IOS 38%, Japan Android 51%, IOS 48% In Japan it has been hovering around 50%, in USA less so. However, typically these are the two most favourable to IOS. Lets laugh at some other big ones EU5 80% vs 18%, China 81% vs 19%! In the world it is around 85-90% Android.

If you re-read the comment I replied to and you joined, I quote “the iPhone actually has a market share of 55% to 65% worldwinde if Google tells the truth” you would see as per this quote that he referred to worldwide market share, which I correctly called out. You are lying by agreeing with him and then compounding this by your pathetic follow-ups.

Colin

Just read yours with your Apple blinkers off and use your brain., then you will see how little you know. Example, you supporting the claim that IOS has 55-65% marketshare., when it is well documented and reported that it is 10-15%. I know my facts and back them up, you just like many of the iFans here do not and to try to make up for their ignorance by bulling, telling lies, swearing and insulting to try to deflect from the facts.

Why don’t you change your name or run away and hide like many of the iFans here do all the time.

Kyoji Shirakani

Easy to beat everything when everything else is pushing 1440p displays and running a lot more useful features in the background than the outdated iFruit device… but lets ignore facts eh Redmond Paid Off?

Enjoy paying the highest price in the world for technology that everyone else had 2-3 years ago all you iSheep out there, you at least remind all the manufacturers why there is no further need to innovate.

mobilemann

you’re the one who doesn’t know the difference between installed base and sold marketshare. I’m always open to reality, it’s just you know so little about iOS, but talk a great deal about it. I’ve corrected you on so many topics already. Why so pathetic?

mobilemann

again, 3 months has nothing to do with installed base, idiot. Apple had close to 50% market share in the two markets I listed, Japan and the US, although I’m not super up to date. If you’re denying that, that’s fine. You’re deluded to begin with, considering the amount of complete fabrications I’ve seen from you so far. But make every comment now about a exaggeration you don’t even understand right? Because if we spoke about specs or the OS’s I would make you look like what you are. A fucking idiot.

mobilemann

because, you didn’t give me a prime example. You made another claim that shows how little you know about the OS. I made specific comments that you could have followed (home bridge has more compatibility than all share, and google, and Alexa combined, I have full IR hex support. Again, you don’t even have the knowledge to have this conversation with me, so how can I prove it? Look up home bridge.

Airplay works with apple products, but the point is that it works (much better.) there are competing and varying versions of miracast and DLNA servers, meaning two compatible devices often don’t work.

these are specific examples, from someone who has used them, from someone who has tried to get home automation going and has done it with unofficial google voice api’s, tasker, which is another reason I find your fucking idiocy so rich. I know more about android than you too.

I know your deal tho, you’re much more interested in appearing like someone who knows what they are talking about than actually being that person. You’re fucking pathetic .

mobilemann

literally the google now API is based off the Siri one. Even fucking the xposed framework is a rip off of mobile substrate for iOS. You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. All your lockscreen notifications features, your ability to even edit your notifications, security api’s for things like 3rd party apps to use biometrics, all iOS first. Quick App switching? iOS 7. quick reply? iOS 7. DND? Google now on tap? lol. You have no fucking clue what you’re talking about. Shouldn’t you be playing angry birds?

Colin

Installed base is a measure of the number of units of a product or service that is actually in use, as opposed to market share, which only reflects sales over a particular period. The original poster (No Name) did not say installed base but market share “the iPhone actually has a market share of 55% to 65% worldwind if Google tells the truth.” Market share numbers are more commonly reported than userbase and that is what he referred to, so sorry I was correct to point this out.

Why is Market Share more common, because as I explained earlier there could be a large installed base of phones and OS yet the company producing them is bankrupt and the OS no longer supported. Nokia and Symbian is one example I can quote, Blackberry another. When the iPhone became popular these manufacturers and the OS they used had a large installed base, but were effectively dead in the water as they were no selling any phones and there was very few new users of their OS.

Now that explanation is not pathetic or made up is it! You see I do understand, you do not. I was correct to

Colin

Ha, this is so funny it as exactly you “I know your deal tho, you’re much more interested in appearing like someone who knows what they are talking about than actually being that person. You’re fucking pathetic .” It seems you look in the mirror when you write these comments and are talking about yourself!

Go to Apples own forums if you want to see how reliable Airplay is. Other methods of achieving the same thing are not perfect, but they get the job done and they are available for a far wider range of products. What use is Airplay if by most people do not have compatible products to use it with, which is my point. You to not need to be a tech wiz to know that!!!!

So are you saying I cannot cast my phone to any TV on my property? I cannot stream spotify to a variety of speakers throughout? Let me tell you my setup is quite complex. I have a lot of rooms, TV’s and several sound systems. I have Sony, LG and Samsung Tvs, Philips, Sony, LG and Samsung speakers and home theatre setups. I can stream across all of them, I can be using Spotify on my Surface and then transfer what I am playing to be controlled by my phone. I do no need an Apple TV to connect to each device a limiting solution and forcing me to use an inferior product that until now did not even output in 4K. This is as specific an example as you can get, yet you ignore it and rebut with a limited use and restricted example.

Colin

You are the idiot, installed base was not the issue as I keep repeating and you ignore. NoName said “MARKET SHARE” not INSTALLED BASE. I am not deying the installed base figures, but have argued and again you ignore, that market share was the issue at hand and if you want to use installed base it is not as good a metric for measuring market dominance or future success. Let me give you one source that supports this. www dot businessinsider dot sg slash apple-installed-base-iphone-8-stopped-growing-2017-7 slash ?r=UK&IR=T.

So lets get down to specifics. Do you deny that NoName used the work “market share” or do you insist he said installed base. Do you think installed base is a better measure of current performance than market share?

mobilemann

idiot, market share can mean either of those things. Holy shit you’re like fucking “how do you put your pants on” levels of fucking stupid. Installed base was just used to clarify what I was talking about. The funny thing? You know fucking nothing bout phones, and you’re using this misunderstanding as some credibility fucking litmus test. Guess what? It doesn’t change that you don’t know what you’re writing about. That you know fuck all about who’s taken what features from where, or what iOS can do. You’re a child that does nothing more than social media with their phone. You just need to sit down and shut up, unless you wanna compare setups, and what you do on your devices? You won’t, cause you’re pathetic.

mobilemann

So you think mircast or DLNA is comparable to Airplay? Do you even know what features they parity? Do you wanna go to the forums of any product to find people not able to use it? Thanks for the anecdotal evidence you fucking idiot. And I’m directly saying, that two pieces of hardware, both certified for miracast can fail, and does often. You again, expose how fucking little you know with your Spotify example, (hint that’s not going over miracast)

You’re probably the most confident idiot I’ve ever spoken to about tech, you really think you know stuff. It’s insane. What do you do with your phone again?

Colin

I have never said Miracast or DNLA are perfect, but do point out Airplay is not either, which is a fact. It is als a fact the Airplay is limited to working with Apple products and a few Apple approved products. It does not work with mainstream electronic suppliers like Samsung, LG and Sony. Here is a quote from an article explaining the difference between Airplay and other similar methods. “AirPlay is great when it works, but it has a big limitation — it only works with Apple devices. If you have a Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, you’ll be happy with it. If you want to stream from a Windows laptop or to a device that isn’t an Apple TV, you’re out of luck.

I am confident because I know what I am saying, you are not because you have to try to sound technical, but fail in what you say and compensate by abuse and swearing.

Colin

Market share is exactly what I said. Do you disagree with Kantor, Counterpoint, Strategic Analytics and others that report and sell market share date or those in the press that widely report it? Some of the data can be misleading in isolation, but the market share perception is the same as mine!!!!

More swearing = more desperation.

I do not use social media much and I am far from a child. Why not tell me what you do on your phone and I will happily tell you what I do on mine! I have done it many, many, many times already.

mobilemann

no, you said market share (overall, with no time constraints; indicating installed base) then you said over a time period (indicating products sold during a specific time period). You’re very stupid, as this is easy to comprehend.

mobilemann

you have never used Miracast, or DLNA, or you would probably know DLNA is missing most of the features we’re talking about. I’ve used airplay with android with about as much success as DLNA. (not kidding at all). My point was airplay is a better solution, and considering all share is the best screen share on android and also only available to one OEM, I would say that the picture is much brighter on one side. But congrats, for the first time you admitted I was right. Not the last tho I’m afraid, as you’re quite dense.
